After receiving the order from the command center, Qin Yuhai immediately took his battalion and another land combat company to set out and headed towards Tianjin City. After more than a while of march, the entire army arrived at Tianjin City.

At this time, all Tianjin City was controlled by the crossing army, and the battlefield had been cleaned up. In fact, the battle scale of Tianjin City was not large. There were only more than 200 Japanese troops guarding the city, and only 400 troops came to reinforce the army in the middle. In terms of the crossing army, and the subsequent troops were less than 300, it could be an extremely large battle.

After the battle, the bodies of 137 soldiers and Russian soldiers were found in Tianjin, and twenty-six prisoners were captured. After the prisoners' defense, it was confirmed that one of the bodies in the military uniform was one of the three temporary government members of the Tianjin Provisional Government. The Russian Colonel Wogak was the highest-ranking officer killed in this battle.

In the battle outside the city, the traveling army killed a total of 177 enemy troops, including people from all countries, and captured 38 people. In the city, a total of 181 various rifles and more than 4,000 bullets were seized.

However, nine people died in the crossing army, five of which died in the blocking battle outside the city, and the other four died in the battle to attack Tianjin City. However, there were no casualties in the reserve team, because when the reserve team arrived, the most difficult battle had ended. There were twenty-seven soldiers injured, but fortunately they were not seriously injured.

After Qin Yuhai entered the city, Qiu Yahui immediately handed over to Qin Yuhai and handed over the command of the army to Qin Yuhai. He also reported to Qin Yuhai the battle yesterday. Qin Yuhai also conveyed the command order to Qiu Yahui, and the next step was to attack the Tianjin Concession.

It was almost six in the morning, and the sky was slightly brighter. However, although the peace in Tianjin had returned to peace, every household was still closed. The main four streets were deserted and empty. It was obvious that the residents in the city were scared by the battle just now and dared not go out.

At this moment, soldiers came to Qin Yuhai to report to him. According to the captain's instructions, they found the warehouse of the Eight-Nation Alliance in Tianjin, and found a large amount of food, supplies, silver, guns, bullets, etc.

Because the command headquarters had not yet been sent at this time, and he was idle anyway, so Qin Yuhai, Qiu Yahui and others rushed to the warehouse together to see what they found.

The warehouse was actually a large house. In the lobby in the middle, sacks were neatly filled with sacks, and almost built on the house, leaving a passage of more than one meter wide on both sides. Qin Yuhai pinched a sack, which should contain grain such as rice. The sacks were printed in Japanese, which was obviously the materials of the Japanese army.

Liu Qinglin, the platoon leader of the warehouse, said: "Battery Commander, we counted it. There are two lobbies with a total of more than 3,000 tons of rice. In that room, there are 500 tons of flour, as well as some seasonings and wine."

Qin Yuhai bowed his head and said, "It's very good. More than 3,000 tons of grain are enough for us to use it for a long time. Where are the rifles and silver? Where?"

Liu Qinglin said: "It's here." He led Qin Yuhai and Qiu Yahui to another room. The room was filled with long wooden boxes, each of which was about 1.5 meters long and about 0.4 meters wide and height. Two of them had been opened and there was a lot of hay stuffed inside. Among the hay packages were the Japanese 30 Murata rifles, each rifle was equipped with a bayonet and fifty bullets.

Qin Yuhai took out a rifle from the wooden box, weighed it in his hand, and said, "Do you count it clearly? How many rifles are there in total."

Liu Qinglin said: "There are about 3,000 pieces, and there are about one million bullets, and more than 2,000 sets of various accessories. In the room next door, there are thousands of other rifle bullets. The signature on the gun is the Type 88 rifle or Chinese characters. I don't know what kind of rifle is it."

Qin Yuhai put the rifle back into the box and laughed: "The Type 88 rifle, isn't that the famous Hanyang?" This batch of rifles was probably seized by the Eight-Nation Alliance! OK, I've made a fortune now, and it's easy to deal with food and guns."

It turned out that these grains and rifles were transported from Japan not long ago. According to the original plan, they will be transported to Beijing in a few days. Because Japan is the main logistics supplier of the Eighth National Alliance, the basic grain of the Eighth National Alliance is supplied by Japan. Moreover, the number of Japanese troops in the Eighth National Alliance is about 23,000, and a considerable number of rifles and accessories is also required. Therefore, this time, three thousand rifles, accessories and bullets were sent to China, but now they are all owned by the Crossing Army.

Silver vessels and other items were looted by the Japanese army in China. The materials looted by other countries were placed in their own concessions. However, Japan was late in the concession in Tianjin and did not operate it seriously. Now there is no serious consulate. After the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, it handed over Tianjin City to the Japanese guards. Therefore, the Japanese army placed all the looted materials in Tianjin City, and some of them were transported back to Japan.

Qin Yuhai was about to look at the property plundered by the Japanese army, but at this time the command headquarters came, requiring Qin Yuhai to immediately send troops to attack the Tianjin Concession and set four principles for Qin Yuhai. First, before the attack, first, send a letter of surrender to the concession. The content command has been drafted and divided into Chinese, British and French texts. It has now been transmitted to the helicopter. If the concession refuses to surrender, launch an attack again; second, try not to destroy the public settings, factories, docks, and various equipment in the concession as much as possible, because these equipment and facilities can be used in the future, and the destruction will be less, and then crossing.

The group will have an extra property; thirdly, it should be severely cracked down on the resistance forces in the concession, but it is strictly forbidden to injure any non-armed person. It can be imprisoned and the freedom of non-armed persons is restricted. However, the living conditions, diet and medical treatment of non-armed persons must be guaranteed. They should try their best to treat women, the elderly and children well. Fourthly, after occupying the concession, the warehouses, factories and private houses in the concession will be blocked, and the temporary executive committee will send people to receive the inspection. When it is necessary to use a private house, the private belongings in the house must be cleaned up first, and they must not be taken privately or damaged, so as to maintain the fine style of our army.

In addition, the command center also reminded Qin Yuhai that some of the Japanese army that failed in the Dagukou battlefield may flee to the concession, so they cannot underestimate the resistance of the concession, and when attacking the concession, they cannot ignore the guards of Tianjin City to prevent them from being attacked by the Japanese army. They will also maintain order in Tianjin City, soothe people's hearts, and do a good job in mass work.

After receiving the order from the command center, Qin Yuhai naturally had no intention of looking at it anymore and immediately ordered to gather the troops and recruit company commanders of each company.

After a simple Ming Dynasty, Qin Yuhai ordered Qiu Yahui's first company and the reserve team to stay to guard Tianjin City, and leave a machine gun platoon and a mortar platoon. Such strength is of course enough to defend Tianjin City. Of course, they have another task, which is to calm people's hearts and do a good job in mass work. He led the other three land combat companies and a missing machine gun company, a mortar company, and two warrior cars, with a total strength of nearly 400 people, to attack the concession area.

The reason why Qin Yuhai left Qiu Yahui's company with him was that on the one hand, because Qiu Yahui's company fought in a row, was very tired and needed to rest; on the other hand, the non-base company had extremely strong combat power, which included Luo Yue's sharp knife platoon. Because the battle ahead had proved the combat effectiveness of the sharp knife platoon, no commander would give up such a force.

The sky was getting brighter and Qin Yuhai led the army out of the city from the south gate of Tiangu and headed towards the concession area.

After the army left, Tianjin City was still deserted, and Qiu Yahui was also a little depressed. If this person didn't come out, how could he soothe people's hearts?

It turned out that after the Eight-Nation Alliance occupied Tianjin, it carried out large-scale robbery and stabbing in Tianjin. According to the records of a military reporter, after attacking Tianjin City, the Eight-Nation Alliance even set up machine guns on the Bell and Drum Tower and wanted to kill and stab civilians. Almost every street around the Bell and Drum Tower was covered by the corpses of civilians, and half of the houses in the city were burned. After the war ended, the corpses in Tianjin City were cleaned up, but it was not cleaned for three days.

Then the Eight-Nation Alliance launched a large-scale attack on the Boxer Rebellion inside and outside Tianjin. In addition to the exposure of the religious people, gentry and merchants, the basis for judging whether the Boxer Rebellion was: young men and unmarried women had signs of carrying guns on their shoulders, wearing red clothes, and even had an angry expression on their faces. They walked alone and looked in a hurry. In short, all Chinese people with suspicious signs. As long as they caught a suspected Boxer Rebellion, their whole family or the families he hid would be sentenced to death.

There were countless Chinese people arrested, all of whom were beheaded. There were as many as 66 people called the leader of the Boxer Regiment, including Tan Wenhuan, the Tianjin Daotai of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Decheng, one of the highest leaders of the Boxer Regiment, was surrounded by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and none of the town, both young and old, were spared.

The Eight-Nation Alliance killed the civilians in Tianjin and could not count the number of civilians. Later, some people estimated that it was about 300,000.

In addition to killing and poking, it was robbery. The Tianjin Road Administration, the government office, the county office, the salt road yamen, the Zhili Governor's yamen, the Tianjin Mintyard, the Tianjin Machinery Bureau and all the factories, enterprises and shops were all robbed by the Eight-Nation Alliance. The robbed property was uncounted, and it was estimated that it was worth no less than 30 million taels of silver. In addition, more than 300 various artillery, 30,000 rifles, and a large number of ammunition were seized in the arsenal near Tianjin, with a total value of about 2.5 million pounds. At that time, one pound was worth about 6 ku flat and two patterns of silver.

A fierce battle occurred last night, and the remaining residents of Tianjin did not know what had happened. The troops there were fighting, so everyone hid at home and told the news, hoping to escape the disaster again and dared to go out again.
